Episode 494 - Why You're Patient With Strangers and Snap at Your Own Kids
You're patient all day. With your coworkers, with the barista, with the person who takes the parking spot you were clearly waiting for.
And then you walk into your own kitchen at 6pm and snap at your kid over a cup.
The question underneath that, the one you've probably asked yourself is: what is wrong with me that I can hold it together for everyone else and lose it on the people I love most?
This week is the whole mechanism behind that snappy version of you.
And why the answer isn't a better comeback in the moment, it's something you do hours earlier.
What You'll Learn:
• Why your reaction is more about the size of how little bandwidth you had at the moment • The reason every gentle-parenting script evaporates the second you actually need it • Why you can stay calm for strangers all day and lose it the moment you get home
